Wedding Wednesday – my bridal makeup and all the products I used….

Good morning my darling friends,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am sharing my wedding make-up look with you today. I am very picky with make-up and if I don´t end up liking the feeling of a product on my face I have to remove it.

For this and some other reasons I decided to my wedding make-up by myself. If Duchess Kate can do it so can I, am I right? I have started months before to test out products I heard where worth the splurge to find the perfect makeup combos for my wedding makeup.

These are my top picks for the face:

Eye Cream – Clinique all about eyes

Face Cream – Clinique Acne Solutions all-over clearing treatment

Face Primer – Kiko Matte Face Base

Concealer – Lancome color

Foundation – MAC Studio Fix color

Face Powder – Maybelline Fit Me color

Fixing Powder – MAC Translucent Powder

Side note: I always let the product set for about 10 minutes before I put on the next one. So for example if you are using a face primer let it set before applying your concealer and same with your foundation.

Blush – Smashbox Blush & Highlight Palette berry

Highlighter – MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

For the lips:

Lip Primer – MAC Prep + Prime Lip

Liner – MAC Lip Pencil color Dervish

Lip color – Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick color Big Spender

For the eyes/brows:

Mascara – essence Lash Princess Sculpted Volume Mascara

Fake Lashes – Red Cherry model 747S

Lash Glue – Fing´rs

Brows – Shiseido Eyebrow Styling Compact

Eye Shadow – Costal Scents 88 Warm Palette

Under eye highlight – Smashbox Cali Contour Palette

Finishing spray – MAC Prep + Prime Fix Rose

I really loved my makeup and think it was the right decision doing it by myself. I also know that it was kind of colorful and bold since most brides go with a nude lipstick and just a hint of blush, but this is how I am and how I feel best so I think this was totally appropriate for me cause in the end I was the bride and had to feel as comfortable and pretty as possible.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

The Daily Supplements I take….

10/10/2018 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links/Markennennung-not sponsored)

these days everybody is strinving to get healthy, be healthy or stay healthy. I think this is a huge theme which needs to be covered here, cause we are all practicing self-care for every part of our body (like face creams and face masks and more skincare and haircare and manicures and pedicures etc.) so why not for the inside too.

First and foremost I have to say I am no doctor and don´t have any medical knowledge. I am just sharing this here cause in my opinion it has helped me a lot and I think you can´t do much wrong by taking daily supplements but if you have any intolereances be sure to check on that first.

So here is what I am taking:

Vitamin C // If you know my eating habits you know why I am taking these. I eat vegetables and fruit but I really don´t like much of them. Maybe eight out of hundreds which makes it really hard for my body to filter enough vitamins from the meals I eat. In my opinion there is nothing wrong in taking vitamin C supplements (also known as ascorbic acid). It mainly boosts you immune system and protects your blood cells from germs but also supports your body to filter the iron out of your food

Omega 3 // These are fish oil pill supplements and I have to admit my first thought was if they taste like fish I can´t take them cause this is just to gross for mornings. They don´t taste like anything at all. They open up in your stomach so I think you will never know how the inside tastes. I have read about these a few weeks ago at Jessi Afshin´s blog The Darling Detail. I always thought Omega 3 supplements were only to help your heart and also support yor cardiovascular system which isn´t bad either, I am just not in need of that now, but as it turns out they are perfect for hair growth and glowing skin too. So I am taking one a day.

Zinc // I am using these because my beautician who does my facials told me to take them in order to get clearer skin. I have a full skincare post coming up soon but I have some more questions for her first. She said that zinc would be amazing for acne troubled skin so I have been using the capsules for a while now and I think they really help. I have had two other apointments since my treatment started and she also admitted that my skin got a lot better. Taking two, one in the morning and one at night.

Biotin // This is the beauty vitamin (or also called Vitamin B7) and I have taken this for a long time now. I think almost two years. You body needs biotin to produce healthy nails, skin and hair and also to keep your nervous system in balance.

I am taking one a day.

Collagen Peptides // I recently started taking this and I am not sure quite now. I have seen that Katey from Chronicles of Frivolity let hers dissolve in her morning coffee but I just can´t do that. I am drinking it with water and a spritz of lemon juice which tastes quite good. It resolves totally and doesn´t taste strange at all. Not also is it a great support for your skin, hair and nails but it´s also supposed to help you with your joints. I do have shoulder issues on a regular base so this would be a great solution for me if this actually helps. But, yes there is a big BUT. Consistency is key here. I think you won´t notice a different if you are not complementing your collagen drink into your daily routine.

Same goes with all the other products as well. I have been taking them over a long period now and I start to notice a different in my skin (in combination with a lot of water intake everyday and a facial every month). In the end you have to try and find out what´s best for your body as everyone acts different (also this is in no way a recplacement for a healthy lifestyle).

Maybe I could help a little today in terms of getting healthier or staying healthy.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Beauty pieces I love for Fall….

10/03/2018 Keine Kommentare

Essie Say it ain´t Soho / Essie Booties on Broadway / Smashbox blush palette in berry / MAC Persistence, Chili, Amorous, Rebel / Bobbi Brown Vintge Rose / The Body Shop Fall for Pumpkin hand cream, body butter

….

Good morning my beauty loving friends

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-Markennennung/not sponsored)

and welcome to day three of our fall week festivites. I am talking beauty over here today. Although I am pretty much using the same beauty pieces throughout the whole year, as soon as the leaves change my colors do to. I am going from a light pink or vibrant pink shade into a more darker purply or cooler tone or from a neon orange to a deep cooper shade. Fall is a new season and with a new season there are always a lot of changes happening not only in nature.

My go to nailpolish colors for fall are dark blues and greens, a deep purple and of course black. And I really didn´t mind as I saw this gorgeous copper shade. Essie totally rocked the season with their fall colors 18 collection. They have a few more shades but I only got these two (cooper tone is Say it ain´t Soho and the blue is Booties on Broadway)- so far.

Since I tend to the more berry shades when the temperatures drop I have found a blush palette I love and get so much use out of. This mostly never happens and that is one reason I don´t buy blush palettes at all but these are the perfect shades. It is the Smashbox Color Blush Palette in berry. So adorable and the hues are the prettiest. The darkest one matches perfect with Rebel or Amorous from MAC and the middle shade works so well with my liquid lipsticks from Bobbi Brown (color Vintage Rose) or even Smashbox and my favorite lip color from Maybelline Rosewood Road. The lightest shade is great to use as a highlighter over the berry blush´s or as a blush itself. Snob from MAC for example would be adorable paired to this fresh and light shade.

The lipsticks I have mentioned above are my fall staples. I rotate them on a daily base and love how the deep and vibrant colors can transfer a whole look into a moody stage.

My favorites are MAC Chili – a burnt orange shade with a redish undertone, MAC Rebel – a vibrant purple shade with a cool undertone, MAC Persistence a darker nude color with an apricot undertone (my go-to color), MAC Amorous – a berry shade on the pinkish side which I totally adore and my latest addition Bobbi Brown – Vintage Rose – a gorgeous rosewood shade.

I have finally got my hands on the Body Shop limited fall edition products. Totally forgot about it last year so it was already sold out until I thought of it. But I had it on my radar this year, ordered still in August and also caught a great day on their site with 25 % off sitewide. The this years collection is called Fall for Pumpkin and it inlcudes the amazing mixture of pumpkin and vanilla. So so awesome. I got the hand lotion and also the body butter. They also offer a shower gel.

Do you switch your makeup routine by the change of the seasons or do you stick to your alltime favorites and everyday pieces??

Thanks for stopping by guys and don´t forget to check back for tomorrows post to enter my giveaway.

Makeup Tutorial – the nudes for everday….

09/28/2018 Keine Kommentare

….

Hello friends and happy Friday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-Markennennung-not sponsored)

welcome to my first ever makeup tutorial. I hope I am not doing too bad. I am sharing my recent favorite makeup look. I have never been a huge fan for nude lips as I always thought it looks a little strange blending in your lips with your makeup (cause I am all for color) but since I discovered this MAC Lipstick which still counts as a nude shade/color I am all for it. The shade is called Persistence (I would say it is a medium brown color with a warm undertone) and I also have the matching liner in the color Spice. I bought this Lip Duo as I got a gift card for the MAC store and as much as I wanted to leave with a red set I got the nude lip duo and loved it ever since.

I am wearing this color almost on a daily base and totally adore it. It had the perfect undertone to match my skincolor. I also have the Whirl lipstick but I don´t like it that much. In my opinion it is a little to harsh for me.

So here is the rest of my tutorial:

Clinique All About Eyes Cream – Anti Blemish Solutions all-over clearing treatment // In the mornings after cleaning/washing my face and before putting on my make-up I use a moisturizer and an eye-cream. Both are from Clinique (currently as I am trying out new products all the time). The Clinique all about eyes cream has a rich texture which I think is perfect for the under eye region to keep it moisturized, depuffed and awake looking. The face cream I am using is the Clinique Anti Blemish solutions all-over clearing treatment. It is a light, non oily face lotion which moisturizes your skin without leaving a greasy feel. And it also helps to prevent new breakouts and clear the old ones. I have used it about a two months now and really like it. I would stick to it but i my opinion it is too light for fall and winter.

Urban Decay Optical Illusion Primer // After that I usually use a concealer but I skipped it here for a primer instead. I have gotten the Urban Decay Optical Illusion Primer in a sample size as I purchased their All Nighter setting spray and have used it ever since. It defenitely evens out your skin and makes it extra smooth. And that creates such an even look. Definitely gonna buy the big size when it´s empty.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation // The foundation I am using is the MAC studio fix in the color NC15 and I loved it since I got it. The coverage is amazing and it is buildable without looking like a mask. I got it for my wedding makeup and also used it for several other shoots. Although I have tried many more from other brands I totally adore this one.

Maybelline Fit Me Presed Powder // For additional coverage I am using the Maybelline Fit Me face powder in shade 105. I am convinced that their powder keeps my skin a lot longer matte than any other I have tried so far.

MAC Brow Sculpt // For my eyebrows I am using the MAC Brow Sculpt in color Fling. I didn´t like it from the beginning cause I had a brow powder before and the pencil feels like a crayon but I have got used to fill in my brows with it and I would purchase it again. Also the color I got really matches my real eyebrow tone so there is no overcoloring.

Essence Lash Princess Mascara // My mascara is the Lash Princess Sculpted Volume Mascara from essence and although it is the cheapest mascara I have ever gotten it is awesome. It creates super thick and super long lashes. One of the best drug store mascaras on the market. Lots of times it is sold out.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer // This is such a basic piece 90% of the women I know have in their makeup bag but it is also pretty versatile. You can use it as bronzer, blush or even as eyeshadow. I personally love using it as a blush for a natural look on my cheeks.

Sephora Face Shimmering Powder // For highlighting my bronzer I am using the face shimmering powder from Sephora in color 02 natural glow. It is such a pretty product. The pigmentation is incredible good and also the product itself is really pretty.

Smashbox Cali Contour Palette // My most used shade in this palette is the lightest shade as I use it for brightening up my under eye area and also highlight my under brow section. But I also love using the two highlight shades above my blush. I have to admit I don´t use it to contour that much.

MAC Matte Lipstick – MAC Lip Pencil // I love lipsticks. If I only could use a few pieces of my makeup lipsticks would always be on top. I just love to add some color to my look. Lipstick expresses my feels for the day. Do I feel great and overall happy I am mostly choosing a more bold and vibrant color. That is how I express my mood in my makeup. I have talked about this lip duo at the beginning of my post so I am not gonna rave about it again although I love it pretty much.

Wow this has been a long post. I am sorry if it was a bit too much information but these are all the products I used for this look and I wanted to at least give you some basic information why I use and like them.

Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
